When I debug I use the console a lot of course.However when I debug little things here and there, which are quickly fixed, I tend to print out movie quotes instead of something else.

So I don't know, if you cannot even image, an example would be, when debugging if an object is null, I expect it to be null, and my printout would be "I see dead people" or "It's Alive!" - you know that kinda stuff.

Then later in the code is a similar code block where it may have been crashing too, so I put the same text, except I replaced all the z's with s's in order to get some distinction.

Although I often put in "poop" "f**k your face" "thingy1" etc. I find that actually writing a single line to describe what's happening is very helpful in the long run (just in case I end up with 25 different printouts in the process of figuring out the bug), so I've been trying to do that lately.

I used printouts in the above case because it was related to a server call and needed to happen at full speed - breakpoints would cause the bug to not happen.

Depends on how lazy I'm feeling sometimes it's numbers so I know what went wrong where (based on the numbers printed) sometimes it's "WHAT DID YOU DO?!?" or something like that, or I'll just put in debug information for more info i.e. "Look what broke: " + objectThatBroke
